Spotlight

As a reoccurring feature of the Magic Messenger we will highlight a member and ask them to answer a few questions about themselves. This month the "Spotlight" is on Fred Lenter.

Fred Lenter

Where did you grow up / where have you lived? 

Detroit and suburbs

How did you get started in magic? 

Sent away for a Vic Lawston catalog that I saw advertised in a comic book when I was about 15 . Bought a few tricks . Started going to Roy Kissells shop in downtown Detroit . Been hooked ever since .

What type of magic do you perform? 

Prefer close up sleight of hand . Perform close up and stand up .

What is your favorite magic book? 

Bobo’s coin magic —— Tarbell Course

Who is your favorite Magician of all time? 

Don Alan —- Michael Skinner —-Mike Thornton

Do you have any words of wisdom for newer magicians?

See as many performers as you can . Don’t copy them but learn from watching them. Read magic books . You don’t need to know a million tricks . Learn a few tricks that you can do really well. Practice, Practice, Practice. Have fun . When you’re showing tricks, show enthusiasm. If you’re having fun, your spectators / friends will have fun.
